Xiaomi Begins Global Android 15 Rollout, HyperOS 2.0 Not Included

What to know:

Xiaomi has initiated the test build of Android 15 update globally, starting with the Xiaomi 14 model.
The update retains HyperOS 1.1 instead of the anticipated HyperOS 2.0 interface.
While HyperOS 2.0 is currently in beta testing in China, global users will have to wait longer for the new interface.

Xiaomi has taken a step forward by releasing its first Android 15 update outside of China, marking a new milestone in the company’s software development journey.

The Xiaomi 14 is the first device to receive this update, which is a test build (as reported by 9to5Google), following the Android 15’s debut on the newer Xiaomi 15 series.

The current rollout maintains the existing HyperOS 1.1 interface rather than implementing the newer HyperOS 2.0.

This decision comes as Xiaomi continues to test HyperOS 2.0 in beta form within China.

While the update may not pack extensive new features, it does include various system improvements and bug fixes. Looking ahead, Xiaomi has plans for a broader rollout of HyperOS 2.0, which is expected to support both Android 14 and Android 15 versions. This dual-version approach is part of Xiaomi’s unique strategy to ensure wider device compatibility and feature accessibility across its product lineup.

The company has prepared an extensive list of devices expected to receive future updates, including various models across the Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO product lines.

This comprehensive update strategy demonstrates Xiaomi’s commitment to providing software support across its diverse device portfolio.
